Introduction: In 2015, Thumbtack.com listed me among the top 3 resume writers/editors in New York, NY. As a former recruiter, I know what employers look for in a resume. I, also, have more experience in structuring, editing and writing resumes than most people have. We complete our projects quickly, so you won't have to wait long for your resume. In terms of other writing, I have a B.A. in English and was a licensed high school English teacher so I am well-versed in the English language and punctuation. I have an engaging personality and my personality comes through in my writing. Having had many years of sales experience, I am very good at persuading people with my writing. As a former legal recruiter, I enjoy helping people find new positions. The first step in finding a new position is having an effective, well-written resume.

I gave Laura two old resumes to work from and she merged the two resumes into one, vastly improving the way that I presented my experience on paper. For example, instead of my listing what I had done at each position, Laura suggested that I list my accomplishments at each position. She, also, made my resume more orderly and suggested improvements in the language of the resume. Laura made punctuation changes, as well, and wasnt satisfied until my resume was, to use her word, perfect. She was delightful to work with and it was obvious to me that her goal was to make my resume as good as it can be. It took Laura two-and-a-half hours to complete my resume and she charged me $180.00 for her services. There is no doubt in my mind that I would go to Laura, again, if I ever needed anything edited and when I need to update my resume.

I'm a CPA in my 60's and was laid off because business was slow. Laura did a terrific job of improving my resume. It even LOOKED better after she was finished working on it. She did it quickly too. Laura was sensitive to my situation and gave me some much-needed encouragement. I intend to refer Laura to anyone who needs this sort of help. - Michael S.

Accentuating Service's reply

I don't understand why my profile picture appears next to this review and/or why my name, Laura L., appears. The review was written by my client, Michael S., not by me. (Thumbtack doesn't take reviews written by the person who has posted a profile, for obvious reasons.) Michael told me that he had a lot of trouble getting the site to accept his review. Perhaps there was a technological problem with the site at the time that Michael was trying to post his review.

I was a licensed NYC high school English teacher after graduating from college at age 20. I have a B.A. in English.

I am aware of the current trends regarding resume construction and writing.
How did you get started doing this type of work?

What types of customers have you worked with?
I do a lot of resume work, cover letter writing, proofreading and editing for my clients. My clients come from all walks of life and a wide range of professions and careers.
